The global flavor industry is at a crossroads. With consumers demanding cleaner labels,stricter

regulations on synthetic additives, and a push for more sustainable ingredients,the race is on to

find natural solutions that deliver on both taste and functionality.

At SNOWCO, we’ve spent several years perfecting one such solution:

Natural Caramel Furanone (CAS 28664-35-9) and its enantiomers. Today, I want to share

how this molecule is transforming product formulations—and why it should be on your radar.

The Science Behind the Flavor

Not all Caramel Furanones are created equal. The difference between a good flavor and

a great one often lies in the details of molecular structure:

Racemic Mix (CAS 28664-35-9): The traditional workhorse, but with limitations.

R(-)-Isomer (CAS 87068-70-0): Delivers a smoother, creamier sweetness, ideal for dairy and baked goods.

S(+)-Isomer (CAS 87068-69-7): Offers a sharper, more persistent caramel note, perfect for beverages and confectionery.
